The heart has its storms, has its seasons of drooping but also its calms and even its times of exaltation. There is a time of sighing and of praying but there is also a time of answer to prayer. Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.

Vincent van Gogh, in a letter to Theo van Gogh, 3 November 1876 (via weltenwellen)
